Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage Yoder, CO
Snow melts over the warm roof and refreezes at the eave. The ridge of ice holds water back until it finds its way inside. Water held behind an ice dam enters slowly and keeps entering for as long as the snow and the ridge of ice remain. Ceilings and upper wall cavities near the eaves are opened where it collected, and wet insulation in the affected bays is removed.

Often needed alongside
- Structural Drying
Water that ran unnoticed reaches further than it shows. Drying brings walls, floors and framing back, measured point by point.
- Vacant & Second-Home Water Damage
A leak in an occupied house is found in hours. In an empty one it runs until the next visit, and that time is the size of the loss.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a propane shortage so serious for homes around Yoder?
Most homes in the area depend on propane for heat, so when a tank runs dry in January the furnace stops and the whole house starts cooling. In a mobile home, the lines under the floor freeze first. Automatic delivery and a tank-level alert are the practical protections.
How does the wind around Yoder affect frozen water lines?
It pulls heat out of buildings through every gap and pushes cold air under mobile homes and into crawl spaces. A home that stays warm on a still night can lose that warmth on a windy one. Sealing skirting and closing vents before winter makes the most difference.
What should a mobile home owner near Yoder do before a January trip?
Fill the propane tank, check the skirting and heat tape, and ask a neighbor to look in while you are away. For longer trips, shutting off the water and draining the lines is the surest way to come back to a dry floor, because a mobile home's lines are the first to freeze if the heat stops.
